How much is your face worth????
Hehe, I got this question today when I was talking about my MAC addiction to this guy in class (pointless, I know, to try and get anyone on the outside to understand...) and he asked my how much each of the products on my face were worth. Hmm...let's see:
MSF=$22 (x2)
e/s=$13 (x2)
Shadestick=$15
Pigment=$18
BE Foundation=$24
TLC=$14
l/s=$14
Benefit Browzings=$15
Mascara=$5
Babes, my look was worth $175 today (and worth every penny), what about yours???

Did you get your BE from Sephora? I had to get mine off QVC so it was 40, but I didn't get as much as the Sephora kit. I ordered the concealer brush and kabuki brush with another foundation.

Not that bad!
Don't forget to devide that by the number of times you can use it--it's actually much cheaper!

Ah but it's actually worth ALOT less as you only have a small percentage of the product on your face.
It's still fun though so i'll work mine out later

This may be depressing:
Without skincare (which is actually pretty cheap)
Gold Deposit MSF $22
MAC woodwinked pro pan $9
MAC sprout pro pan $9 (tho RIS)
MAC antiqued pro pan $9 (also RIS)
EL futurist Mascara $14 (actually GWP)
Oh baby lipglass $14
So about $77 USD. Not too bad, esp since it will produce at least 50 days of application.

But you're not using that whole bottle/jar of stuff on your face in one go (unless you really are!) so your face is only worth the amount of the product you have on 
Ah who cares, it's fun to say your face is worth hundreds.
